Parents are generally the worst source of pediatric health information.
There have been countless studies on the affect of pediatric vaccinations with thiomersal (the preservative that contains mercury) and autism, and there has never been a causal link found. It's an old wives' tale. Unfortunately, there are a lot of old wives in this country so the FDA told manufacturers to stop using it even though there was no reason to. Most stopped using it by 1999, and all stopped using it a few years after that. Autism continues.
